23、S FOREWORD 1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in t
24、he electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted
25、 to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the Internation
26、al Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations. 2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each t
27、echnical committee has representation from all interested IEC National Committees. 3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC P
28、ublications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any misinterpretation by any end user. 4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications transparently to the maximum extent possible in their
29、national and regional publications. Any divergence between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter. 5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity assessment
30、 services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any services carried out by independent certification bodies. 6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication. 7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees,
31、 servants or agents including individual experts and members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses arising out of the publ
32、ication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications. 8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is indispensable for the correct application of this publication. 9) Attention is drawn to the possib
33、ility that some of the elements of this IEC Publication may be the subject of patent rights. IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard IEC 60112 has been prepared by subcommittee 15E: Methods of test, of IEC technical committee 15: Insula
34、ting materials. This consolidated version of IEC 60112 consists of the fourth edition (2003) documents 15E/209/FDIS and 15E/213/RVD, its amendment 1 (2009) documents 112/116/CDV and 112/130/RVC and its corrigenda of June 2003 and October 2003. The technical content is therefore identical to the base
35、 edition and its amendment and has been prepared for user convenience. It bears the edition number 4.1. A vertical line in the margin shows where the base publication has been modified by amendment 1. 4 60112 IEC:2003+A1:2009 Major changes since the previous edition are the following: The selection
36、of a material for a specific application frequently involves compromises in the levels of the individual properties and test criteria. In the previous edition of IEC 60112 the test criteria required “no burning of the specimen“, but this gave rise to two issues: difficulties in the identification of
37、 burning which includes all types of combustion, e.g. flaming, and smouldering in the situation where scintillations had occurred giving rise in many cases to carbon on the surface of the specimen, and a situation in which some product committees had found it necessary to dispense with the “no burni
38、ng“ criterion in the tracking tests which they replaced by flame tests on the final product, thereby giving rise to two types of CTI/PTI with different criteria. This standard attempts to regularize this situation. It has the status of a basic safety publication in accordance with IEC Guide 104. Thi
39、s publication has been drafted in accordance with the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The committee has decided that the contents of the base publication and its amendments will remain unchanged until the maintenance result date indicated on the IEC web site under “http:/webstore.iec.ch“ in the data rel
40、ated to the specific publication. At this date, the publication will be reconfirmed, withdrawn, replaced by a revised edition, or amended. 60112 IEC:2003+A1:2009 5 METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF THE PROOF AND THE COMPARATIVE TRACKING INDICES OF SOLID INSULATING MATERIALS 1 Scope This International
41、standard specifies the method of test for the determination of the proof and comparative tracking indices of solid insulating materials on pieces taken from parts of equipment and on plaques of material using alternating voltages. The standard provides for the determination of erosion when required.
42、 NOTE 1 The proof tracking index is used as an acceptance criterion as well as a means for the quality control of materials and fabricated parts. The comparative tracking index is mainly used for the basic characterization and comparison of the properties of materials. Test results cannot be used di
43、rectly for the evaluation of safe creepage distances when designing electrical apparatus. NOTE 2 This test discriminates between materials with relatively poor resistance to tracking, and those with moderate or good resistance, for use in equipment which can be used under moist conditions. More seve
44、re tests, of longer duration are required for the assessment of performance of materials for outdoor use, utilizing higher voltages and larger test specimens (see the inclined plane test of IEC 60587). Other test methods such as the inclined method may rank materials in a different order from the dr
45、op test given in this standard. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

49、s and electrolytic contamination 3.2 tracking failure failure of insulation due to tracking between conducting parts NOTE In the present test, tracking is indicated by operation of an over-current device due to the passage of a current of at least 0,5 A for at least 2 s across the test surface and/or within the specimen. 3.3 electrical erosion wearing away of insulating material by the action of electrical dis
